Agressée sexuellement par son patron à l'âge de dix-sept ans, Léa Clermont-Dion décide, près d'une décennie plus tard, de poursuivre…
l'agresseur en justice. Elle consignera son expérience dans son journal jusqu'au procès. Pendant ce temps, l'affaire Harvey Weinstein déclenche le mouvement #MeToo, et des millions de femmes dénoncent la culture du viol à visage découvert. La déposition criante de vérité de Porter plainte témoigne de la froide autorité du droit et des luttes des victimes de crimes sexuels, qui reprennent la parole qu'on leur a soustraite

These days, everyone feels insecure. We are financially stressed and emotionally overwhelmed. The status quo isn't working for anyone, even…
those who appear to have it all. What is going on? In this urgent cultural diagnosis, author and activist Astra Taylor exposes how seemingly disparate crises—rising inequality and declining mental health, the ecological emergency, and the threat of authoritarianism—originate from a social order built on insecurity. From home ownership and education to the wellness industry and policing, many of the institutions and systems that promise to make us more secure actually undermine us. Mixing social critique, memoir, history, political analysis, and philosophy, this genre-bending book rethinks both insecurity and security from the ground up. By facing our existential insecurity and embracing our vulnerability, Taylor argues, we can begin to develop more caring, inclusive, and sustainable forms of security to help us better weather the challenges ahead. The Age of Insecurity will transform how you understand yourself and society—while illuminating a path toward meaningful change
